How to thrive on a non 240v site!

Hi PD (are you ok with the abbreviated form...?)

here is a link to the gaslow version at £15 which, as you suggest' screws directly onto a butane pigtail, hence the simplicity of the system.

like you, for the uk i have a local Countrywide Farmers depot only a mile or so away, bit for all trips south and east, i pass a filling station with very cheap LPG....

Thanks BB, no problem with PD, better than some names I have been called.   In the Scouts my camping mug and plate had those initials stenciled on their underside and I got referred to as Pig Dish.

For the benefit of those,who like me,have had trouble filling Safefill cylinders due to the plastic shield fitted to pumps fear not.I had a call yesterday from them after querying the problem and a solution  is on the way in the form of an extension piece.As soon as they let me know when it's available I'll pass it on.

Yes MJ I had a feeling that there was a piece of kit to overcome the problem. Look forward to hearing from you.

I would like to fit permanent USB sockets on my 'van. I know I can get the 12v plug ins but I would prefer to have fitted USB sockets so that the 12v sockets can be used for other things.  Not the type you can buy integrated into a 240v socket, but a stand alone socket that you can actually fit next to the sockets already on the van. I'd like to have a couple up front and a couple down near the bed. Does anyone know if these things exist? I have searched but cant  find them. 

 Have you looked at " Maplin" or " City Electrical"  ?? 

If you can't find what you want - perhaps another bank of 12v sockets with USB adaptors?  The ones I have are pretty el cheapo. 

Have a look at this website and just type in usb in their search box and it brings up a couple of different types.Not cheap but still.

I just googled 12 volt usb and it brought up a couple of very interesting ones on e-bay.

A USB solar charger comes in handy too.
